On January 28, 2020 each student was given the opportunity to research and choose 6 stocks to put in their portfolio for a stock market class challenge we would have for the remainder of the school year. Each student was given a $10,000 budget and had to determine their stock picks based on the current share price and decide the number of shares to buy staying within the 10K budget. On February 12, stock market prices were at the highest levels in history, and little did we know the collapse of the market due to the coronavirus was just on the horizon. Nonetheless, the student challenge will continue, even though there have been significant losses in each student portfolios. The top 5 students to finish with the highest overall percentage gains or lowest percentage loss will be awarded prizes. Every Friday, students are required to look their stock price up and record it in their notebook. I will post the leaderboard at the beginning of each new week.
